Books/misc you would like to see on the screen

Post by SeiUsa » Thu Jun 22, 2006 4:55 pm

Any books or miscellaneous things you would like to see made into movies or television?

I would like the book, "All Rivers Flow To The Sea" to be made into a movie. Other books include "Number the Stars" and the Dragons in Our Mist" series.
Also, the sequel to The Princess and The Goblin. I love the movie and the books and I am sad that the sequel was never made into a movie. :(

As for television...Happy Bunny! That rabbit would make a kick-ass cartoon. I think it would appear on Adult Swim, or Comedy Central. I can imagine..."Hey, losers! It's the Happy Bunny hour!" =D

Ahem, anyway...What are your ideas?

the Death Gate Cycle would make a great epic movie series.

I would love to see that.

I would like to see Isaac Asimov's Foundation series make it to the screen, although Hollywood has not been good to Dr. A, witness The Bicentennial Man and I, Robot.

Also, if it could be done with the proper scope, I'd like to see Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged adapted. It would probably be better as a mini-series, or even as a LOTR-style series of blockbusters, because it's just so long.
Things I think Are Funny Early in the Morning: If Batman were a Smurf: "Quick, Robin! We must smurf down to the Batcave and smurf the Batplane! Then we must smurf the batsmurf so we can smurf where the Joker is smurfing!"

The Croonerism Spate (explanations upon request)
Be careful with this one, there is a bit of a pun involved. Dr. Spooner described his visit to a castle: "In the center of the fortress was the Palace Court. The gated entrance to this area was the court palace."

I'd like to see some of the Dragonlance books made into movies. The original trilogy would make pretty good ones...

I like to see some Disney Parodies on fanfiction.net (Including mine) to appear as a movie series. Also I want to see another An American Tail series (where Fievel and his friends are still in New York City) but with more episodes and more heart (Unlike the other 2 DTV sequels {that were done by the same writer Len Uhley}.).

I'd like to see the novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire made into a movie but there's no chance in hell it ever would.

You mean the one the musical is based on?

I want to see the musical made into a movie so I can see it without going to Broadway. XD

I would like to see the sandman by neil gaiman made into a series with different animations for different bits if they could do it right. Or get gaiman to write some of those side story things he has in it and make those into an animation.

I'd also like to see a film of sandman but it would be horrible and murder the story line.
